WhatsApp counts for more than 1 billion monthly active users, which is amongst the best in the industry.
This should help WhatsApp scale up even faster. The best part about the native desktop app as compared to the web app is the ability to share files and documents which wasn’t possible earlier. There have been rumors and leaks surrounding the native desktop apps, so this should come as no surprise for many people. This means your phone should have active internet connection for the desktop app to work, which is bit of a downer considering other messaging apps like Telegram can work well without that. The new desktop app is available for Windows 8+ and Mac OS 10.9+ and is synced with WhatsApp on your mobile device. As you’d expect, the app supports desktop notifications and much like the WhatsApp Web, it’s merely an extension of your phone as it mirrors the conversations and messages from your mobile device. The Facebook owned company has released a native desktop app for both Windows and Mac devices. WhatsApp finally has a feature which most other messaging apps in the world has had for ages – desktop apps.
